Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast

In this (currently a bit sporadic) podcast, Kiyan and Dylan bring their “expertise” in film and television into the world of movie trilogies. Each episode centers around a trilogy that the duo watched in one sitting, and features behind the scenes information, a brief summary of key plot points, and a discussion on how the movies worked as a trilogy.

Triple Play runs interchangeably with Inevitable: A Classic Science Fiction Podcast and when active releases every other Wednesday at 9AM Pacific. Triple Play has covered movie trilogies ranging from the classic (Back to the Future, The Godfather, Star Wars) to the obscure (Fred, Troll). Nothing is off limits as long as it has three movies.
